The final and complete withdrawal of Soviet combatant forces from Afghanistan began on 15 May 1988 and ended on 15 February 1989.

A lie .

There are only a few thousand Real Americans .

The 40,000 are all the Muslim Invaders .

That 40,000 lie was started by the Woke Gen Milley - Austin traitors to /> HIDE the Muslim invasion they planned.

The military will not say how many real Americans tax payers are left .
and they do not get priority over Muslim invaders .

Yes the military wants to ship potential taliban and Isis over to kill us all off

“”We don’t have the capability to go out and collect large numbers of people.”

Doesn’t bode well for protection of Taiwan.

Your first sentence was somewhat reassuring, but your last sentence was intensely ominious.

Maybe Austin should ask another country with a functional military to go get them.

You will make a fine serf.

And as bad as the Taliban are, I expect the media to exaggerate their atrocities so as to get more support for bringing more Afghanis here.

Wrong attitude. Don't think like a liberal.

With the weak attitude of Joe Biden and his crew you are correct. But in reality our nation could do whatever we want with Afghanistan if we decided to. If we wanted to we could start by killing some of the Taliban top leadership and threatening the rest, or just leveling as much of Afghanistan as we felt like leveling. It would probably cause panic around the world, but it would turn the situation with the Taliban around instantly.

We could just tell Iran that they need to reign in the Taliban or we will destroy them.

Or if we really wanted to we could apply the kinds of rules of engagement we used in WWII and just take Afghanistan as an overseas territory.

There are always options, you just have to decide it is worth using them. And we need leaders not a senile guy with generals who are more interested in what size pride flag to fly than protecting our citizens.

I saw the presser. They made it clear that Biden has ordered them to secure the airport and that is all. That is what they are doing.

Joe listened to the woke socialists in the White House that are morons.... and rejected what the military told him. Now the military is doing what Biden says.... and nothing more.

He added no one really knows the exact number.

And they don’t know where they are. These are missionaries, NGOs, war tourists, amateur journalists. People not on the State Dept’s radar. They’re not all in Kabul. Many are scattered. It’s a major CF. A lot of them are going to get killed in the coming weeks.

“Wrong attitude. Don’t think like a liberal.”

You just said the one thing that would piss me off more than probably anything else you could say and then tell me I’m correct. Our troops are completely surrounded by the Taliban who can cut off the supply lines to those troops in a heartbeat if they choose. You’re going to start killing and threatening the leadership of the Taliban when they have up to 40000 potential hostages PLUS our soldiers on the ground? Really? And you think we’re going to medieval now after not doing so for 20 years with this group we have in charge? I’m not thinking like a liberal. I’m thinking like a person who, unlike many others, realizes the situation Biden and his band of idiots has put us in.
